WHEELED TOY.

Application filed May 9, 1928. Serial No. 276,388.

his invention relates to improvement in led toys and particularly to wheeled provided with gongs which will ring 1.. he toy is rolled forward or backward. 'V invention is to provide an ihe object of this attractive toy with a hoop and figures arranged to pass through the hoop as the toy is moved, and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1 is a front view of a wheeled toy constructed in accordance with my invention;

Fig. 2 is a .side view with one of the wheels partly broken away; and

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on an enlarged scale.

ln carrying ont my invention, I employ two wheels 5 and 6 mounted upon an axle 7 in the form of a bolt with a nut 8 at one end. Mounted onthe axle are twocrossed bars 9 and 10 and secured to the ends of the rods are figures 11 of any desired character. Preferably, one of the bars is struck inward to form nubs 12 to enter recesses 13 formed in the other bar, whereby the bars are interlocked together and at right angles to each other. Mounted Von the axle and on opposite sides of the bars are spacing-blocks 14@ and 15 and beyond these blocks on either side are two reversely-arranged gong-bells 16 and 17 between which arespacers 18 and 19 of proper length to separate the edges of the gongs and within the gongs are strikers 20. Beyond the gongs are filling-blocks 21 and 22, these being all held in position with respect to the wheels by the bolt 7. Mounted on the fillingbloclis 21 and 22 is a bail 23 to which a cord` 24 may be attached, whereby the toy may be trundled.

Loosely mounted on the spacing-blocksll and 15 is a strip of metal 25 doubled at the center to form an open hoop 26 and provided at its lower ends with eyes 27 for the attachment ofV weights 28. n f

Then a toy thus constructed is moved back or forth, the wheels turn the axle and with it the bars 9 and 10 and vso cause the figuresv ItV is obvious without illustration that single bar may be employed, or more than two bars, incase of'larger toys, and while I have shown the representation of horsesy on the ends of the bars, it is obvious that any desired iigures may be so employed. This construction provides a veryattractive and fascinating toy forchildren.
